Designing a democratic political systemIndonesia’s political system has yet to fulfil the people’s mandate and the Constitution. In response to this, Kemitraan has developed a democratic electoral advocacy series, consisting of three components; Electoral Systems, Electoral Management, and Electoral Law Enforcement. Designing a Democratic Political System is the title of the first Electoral System component. This book presents the following argument: 1. The Constitution mandates a democratic political system to be implemented by the state administration, 2. The Constitution does not specify all necessary democratic political mechanisms, and 3. These democratic political mechanisms need to be complemented with laws and regulations, and amendment of the Constitution, where necessary. Designing a Democratic Political System then provides the precriptions and indicators for a democratic system: political participation, political party systems, political representation systems, and effective presidential and local government. The conclusion outlines ways to design a more democratic system, including recommendations for the general election process for both parliament and local council members. -
